I primarily work with adults navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many people are just finding out they may be neurodivergent and are realizing that the usual strategies don't for them. Some couples have been navigating the same patterns for years and are looking for a space to untangle old conflicts and come back together. Whatever is bringing you here, we can work together to understand your past, unmask the you that might have been buried, and create a life that truly supports you.
Although I pull therapeutic strategies from CBT, DBT, ACT, and offer EMDR therapy, I have found that counselling works best when it is individualized to each unique person. Together, we will explore perspectives and strategies to find what supports you wherever you are right now.
Finding the right therapist is important. To make sure I'm the right fit for you, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation call. If you're ready to take the next step, email me to schedule a time to connect.
